This game is fantastic. Scary beyond all meaning. I love this game. It seems to me that there is more to it than what i picked up on during my first playthrough. Thank you all for making this amazing game! It is confusing and thrilling at times, and i enjoy that immensely!
What an amazing journey! The art? immaculate. I think the voice acting in particular was so immersive. I could feel every single emotion the character was going through; you chose well! I really loved the writing too. Without spoiling anything, I think one of true horrors we can go through in this world is having the agency over our own bodies be taken away. This theme was protrayed so well through your use of body horror. I've only gone through one ending, so I'm excited to go back and explore some more options! Overall, though I'm a huge wuss when it comes to body horror, this game found the right balance to lead me through the narrative, while not being too intense on the body horror aspect.
Very fun story that manages to pack in a good amount of world building into its runtime. The art, voice acting, and sound work are all fantastic and keep things engaging. And despite the fact that I am normally a huge baby that cant do horror, it manages to strike a balance with body horror that was relevant and interesting without scaring me off.
OH MY GAWD, THAT WAS EPIC. God, I just went through one ending, and I already freaking loved it. It felt like I was watching a real animated series, and oh my God, I liked how the story developed and how the lore and relationships between the characters were shown. Everything was just smooth and explora. The only thing I can find problem with is that some voicelines were a little low even if the volume of my device is set on 40. But anyway, I really enjoyed the game(:}}}
also, I loved Nayumi. Hohoho, she is mad as her finest<3 !
Thank you <333 We pushed the game engine to the limit to make it like an animated series! I'm so glad you loved it!!! Nayumi is my favorite character too. I convinced my art director to design her like she is to up the creep yandere vibes for her personality.
Omg! I can't wait to play this <333
<333 thank you!! I pushed a mini update to fix a voice line I put in the wrong spot after you downloaded it. Tell me if it lives up to your expectations!!!!
